There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
blue eyes
that
hold, no
lies
sparkling smile
that
holds, no
wile
(nor guile)
words
softly, spoken
not, just
words
what lay,
inside
all
those
years
it is clear,
to me
now
smile
This week, my poetry prompt is simple, it’s smile. Why not?
